Wow! Great pics, color me jealous. What does total Memory top off at when that card is installed? It's about the only PB100 upgrade I didn't get for BabyPB right off the bat when I bought her new. ISTR someone looking into cloning that card? If so you may be in luck finding the drivers

I cut up the 630 chassis, but know where I keep the plastics. Its harness and the guts of its PSU and part of the housing for them were installed in a Sharp word processor/printer case that's sitting on a shelf since that Snitz era recase hack. The 630 board disappeared when I swapped it out...

If your design scales to the Macintosh Portrait Display, That would look even better next to my primary workstation's display when it finally dies. Might other 15" Monitor CRTs be compatible with the Portrait setup? One last crazy notion for this morning. 🤪 I've played with vacuum forming a...

It gets even more interesting! The 12" RGB Display for the top of the LC would be your target market. It's a perfect fit for my Lisa bezel! Is an LCD/controller combo in that size/aspect ratio available? LC puts out 640 x 480 in grayscale and resolution increase dramatically as you climb up to...

Very, very nice, will likely pick one up when it's available. One question though! Might this scale up directly to fit the bezel of the Lisa?

Found my long lost 630 board by accident. Was looking thru the box of assorted DuoDock boards and there it was! :p edit: it got better better! There was one of my LC475/Q605 boards squirreled away in there as well.

Very curious, until yours, I'd not seen a 33MHZ Rocket sans heatsink? Slight clarification: As you did, I filled both of the four SIMM Banks (about $2,500 worth!) when the Rocket (in my purpose bought IIx launch pad) was a new product. As you said, that enabled interleaved memory access. ;)

Great info, gang. Can't wait to play with mine again. @JDW looks to me that you have the 25MHz Rocket, given the lack of heatsink? If so, the power requirements ought to be lower than the 33/40MHz versions of the Rocket? Has anyone got info on the power required for the three versions?

I am sooooo jealous! Been trying to find my 630 board for YEARS! So it goes . . .

If it sells, somebody is laundering their crack sales profits. :rolleyes:

Glad you like the notion, there are all kinds of new goodies available for an updated version. 🤪 I've got a cardboard prototype I made for him in the design process, suggesting integrated feets™ Really more like leg extension additions to faceplate/backplane components to turn it into a tower...

Very cool! If you have any more LCs to work on it might be nice to move this completed one to the likes of the custom, clear LCIII case BMOW did some time back. Discussion's somewhere at the MLA, most likely with dead pic links. :rolleyes: Could be fun to look up? IIRC files for his PONOCO...

VGA->HDMI is what I use on my 6400/6500 testbed lashup. Works great, bought in 2018. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FILNV6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@Bolle says it's a no-go for implementing a 32MHz CPU on the card by feeding a 16MHz clock bodge from the board through its 8MHz->16MHz PAL. That was my longtime quest, his testing nailed the coffin shut. 😦 So I'm figuring 50MHz won't work at anything but 16MHz as would the 32MHz part.

Wondering what you use to format those mSATA drives? Got one all hooked up and Drive Setup on the OS9 install CD from my store bought 10.1.2 set says it's unsupported. :confused: Need any 2003 MDD bootable CD with formatting tools on it.
